New Editions: What’s The Change and Which One to Choose?
Here they come – new editions that were introduced together with 2.3 release. This means that if you are a holder of the previous edition – Premium, Advanced, Site or Professional – it will be automatically replaced with a new one that fully matches your usage. This happens when you update to the 2.3 version. Such change of the edition does not require additional payments as it is done in terms of your maintenance. Thus, we want it to happen as smoothly as possible, so please follow the descriptions and instructions below.
The main thing you need to know is that every new edition is bound to the data source you are using: CSV, JSON, SQL databases (Oracle, MySQL, etc.), XMLA providers (MS Analysis Services, Mondrian and icCube):
- Pivot Table for MS Analysis Services Edition: ideal for those who want to analyze data from Microsoft Analysis Services OLAP cubes.
- Pivot Table for Pentaho Mondrian Edition: ideal for those who want to analyze data from Mondrian or icCube.
- Pivot Table for SQL/CSV/JSON in two editions Basic (limitation on data size – 5 MB) and Unlimited (no limitation on data size): ideal for those who want to analyze data from SQL Databases or static files (CSV and JSON).
Also, there is no limitation on the functionality. Every edition includes all features.
So below let’s see what options you have with every previous edition:
If you are a holder of Advanced Edition, just answer a question – Which data source do I use in my application?
- MS Analysis Services
- Pentaho Mondrian or icCube
- CSV or JSON data from static files or SQL databases
The answer would be a hint to your new edition: Pivot Table for MS Analysis Services Edition, Pivot Table for Pentaho Mondrian Edition or Pivot Table for SQL/CSV/JSON Unlimited Edition.
If you are using several data sources, please contact us with the details and our team will advise which edition suits you best.

What to do when it comes to the renewal of the maintenance?

If the price of your new edition renewal differs from the price of your previous edition renewal, please take it into consideration for the next year renewal.
Reminder! The renewal price equals 50% of the price of your edition on the moment of renewal.
